I had been looking for swimming lessons for my 2 children for quite a while, having decided that £27 a week for a half hour private lesson each was just too much. I didn’t want a large group class and I didn’t ant to pay over £100 a month either. Basically I wanted to have the best of both worlds. And, insistent little blighter that I am, I got it! My kids now go once a week to the Robin Gordon swimming school which runs in the pool at Campbell College. The coaches are excellent — I think they are from the sixth form swimming team at Campbell so not only are they excellent swimmers who know their stuff, but they’re also still young enough to know how to relate really well to the kids. My little swim stars have improved dramatically since they started these lessons a few months ago and I am more than happy with the coaching standards. The kids really look forward to their lessons which is a good sign and in fact one of them insisted on going straight after he had a tooth out at the dentist. There is always a little bit of play time at the start and end of the lesson so everyone’s happy. I will definitely sign up next term. Oh yes, the cost. £5 a week each which is excellent as the class sizes are small.
